Anyone can reccomend some tuning proggie and volts for my Asus 5870 v2? I try using GPUtweak but it no work, right now using Trixx but not 100% compatible... Looking to squeeze some more life, so far 915/1275 seems Ok. Anyhing higher and driver craps out during gaming

Damn, that card is awesome! Sick looks!
Shame it doesn't seem to be able to OC well. Maybe BIOS is blocking?
If MSI Afterburner isn't picking up the voltage settings and ASUS' own tools won't recognize the card, it seems it is protected against tampering.

Thanks! I have no idea, it prolly is the BIOS... It is a "Voltage Tweak" edition card with a non function VoltTweak! It never worked since day 1 I'm gonna try that AMD tweak and maybe that'll work, if not maybe i have to edit the BIOS

Any ideas why this thing seems to be locked down? It is a voltage tweak card and was marketed as having the ability to control voltage for improved clocking. I have tried the Asus, Sapphire, MSi and AMDtweak without any luck at all... I never touched a VGA BIOS so not sure about that whole process TBH

It is 100% stable @ 900 but anything over can get flaky during gaming, just trying to prolong this guys life a little longer

Shame you had trouble with trixx I flashed my 5870 to get to 1ghz but came to find trixx because the 5850 wouldn't work with any of the bios' s I tried so its back on original bios yet trixx has it at 960 which is my max xfire gameing clocks synced .
You just need ulps disabed or ticked anyway in trixx's settings but maybe the voltage controller's incompatible.

now now ... i need to upgrade the cpu part ahah i think its a bit a leash for that card ... but its fine for now

oh well thats indeed a good upgrade ... shame i cant go past 950mhz on core (last stable frequ) tho i can add 150mhz to the memory too sooo happy time still

i really love the XFX metalic shroud and black pcb and she is also whisper quiet comparing to the Club3D (at last i can get rid of that GTX560ti i have in my second rig .. or i keep it for my WCG boinc'ing... dunno)

I'm thinking a BIOS mod/flash is the only way with this card unfortunately, i would have done it already but i have no experience flashing GFX and don't want to brick the card. Even when i first bought the card the voltage tweak never worked, even using Asus' Smart Doctor or W/E it's called. Guess i'll just be stuck with it as is

From my most recent experiences with Asus, it seems to me that they LOVE to advertise features on their products or market their products with certain features when in fact they are non existant. Or non functioning.

Go ahead and chalk me up for another Reference HD7970.
This one is a Visiontek as well, and will be flashed to XFX Black Edition as soon as I receive it.
This card is meant as the final piece of my dad's new PC, but he'll get it when I'm done benching with tri-fire, lol.
